Default Claybaring head and tail lights

I noticed the other day my headlights were a little dingy so I was thinking about claybaring them. Would that help remove some of the oxidation and crap on them? And my tail lights have been sprayed with night shades and clear coat. Will claying them hurt the night shades any?

Clay isn't going to touch the oxidized parts. If they're really bad, wet sanding is the way to go, if not, Plast-x will get the job done.

There are kits at your local auto parts store to clear off your headlights. Mothers makes a good one.

use a good compound that you would buff with works just as good as headlight restore kits and cheaper

Plast-x you can find in any auto parts store and I got a buffing attachment for my drill at NAPA for something like $3. That's about all you'll need.
